Bill,

That's a good question...

I think that the key point to remember is that insiders (officers, directors,...) are not restricted in their trading.  They simply must report their transactions.  In fact, there's a whole school of market analysis, as you know, which focuses on making the same trades the insiders do...


All the best,

OM
